HE SAW THE POINT
An •editor once reeded $100; he
looked"' over his subscriptioan Este and
noted that some subscribers were at
arrears for two years, a few three
years and one or two fur;e years, in all
amounting to five hundred dollars.
He sent out sbntae duns. ,and one man
received the missive with indignatioat,
HIe went to, .raise atesow with the ed-
who showed him ,duns, the had re.
ceiv 'd himself, one for paper one for
type, one for ink and several others,
"Now" said the ,patient ,editor, "I did
not get mad when these carne, I
knew I owed for them and I relied
on you and others who owed me to
pay for them. You see eve, all depend
on, somebody." The mad subscriber
saw the. force of ;the argument and
said he was:sorry he had let the ball
run so long, He paid.
